Ortega departs from River Plate

River Plater attacking midfielder Ariel Ortega is said to have left the club with immediate effect. He has fallen out with the club's coach Diego Simeone and is now interested in moving elsewhere.

The 34-year old former Argentine international playmaker was left out of River's last game of the Clausura championship against Banfield and this has supposedly sparked rumours of a fall out between the player and the coach.
